Madison’s Steve Stricker never did get comfortable during the 3rd round of the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii on Sunday.
Just when it looked like Stricker was going to allow everyone back in the hunt again, he birdied the final four holes to finish with a 4-under-par 69 and maintain his 5-shot lead heading to the final round today. That 5-shot cushion is the same cushion that he started the round with.
